"It certainly looks" as Khashoggi is dead - Trump

Colombo (News 1st) - US President Donald Trump says it certainly looks as though Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi is dead. Trump did not say what he based his conclusion on but told reporters at Andrews Air Force Base the consequences for the Saudis "will have to be very severe" if they are found to have killed him. The US President for the first time publicly acknowledges Saudi journalist likely killed, urges 'severe consequences'. More than 40 lawmakers pressed US President Donald Trump to impose sanctions against Saudi Arabia over Khashoggi's disappearance and suspected murder.
